Broomfield Mayor Patrick Quinn enters Colorado treasurer’s race

And then there were two: Broomfield Mayor Patrick Quinn today announced he is vying for the Democratic nomination for treasurer, as is former Congresswoman Betsy Markey[2], who is holding a press conference on the west steps of the state Capitol at 10:30 this morning.

The winner of the June 2014 primary will take on Republican Walker Stapleton[3], who is seeking a second term.

Quinn made his announcement via a press release that said his career in public service[4] was launched when he fought to maintain open space in Broomfield. A certified public accountant, he ran a small business for more than 20 years. He and his family have lived in Broomfield since 1981.
